  1. Todays lesson we learned about Two types of process analysis which are directive and informative. We also learned working with stages such as, Preparation or background, steps or sequence, order. We learned much more, but i can't describe it all because i have to save my brain for the test. Good and fun lesson today.

  2. Todays lesson was simple. It was kind of a refresher, covering the three steps of the writing process. There are two types of process analysis, which are informative and directive. The writing activities were simple, I enjoyed how the class worked together on figuring out the steps to conduct a change oil. Also, I am satisfied with my test #2 results.

    2. I think only focusing on the essay for the test would be better for us, that way we wont have to feel like we are running out of time and have to rush through it. I usually never look forward to test, but i think this will help me.

      Delete
    3. I also feel that could have done better. I was kind of glad to hear test#3 will just be the essay. It would be easier when focusing on one thing.

  7. Todays class was a refresher. My favorite was the oil changing part, it was fun. The discussion in class gave us enough knowledge to prepare us for upcoming papers/ tests. My test grade was a bit better than my first. Now I need to prepare for the next one so I can finally be satisfied with a good grade.

    1. My favorite part was the oil changing exercise as well. It helped us interact with our classmates, while we were also learning!

    2. The simple discussion gave me less pressure right before receiving my test results. To top that, our test is only on an essay! I have to take advantage of this and write a really good essay.

    3. Great job on test #2. I hope you do better on the next one.

  8. In class we had gone over process analysis and the two types of process analysis. The exercise we did in class about the oil changing really showed how important it is to structure your essay so as not to confuse the reader. My test#2 score was a step up from test#1. I feel confident that I would do better on test#3 considering I scored well on the essay portion on both test1 and test2.

    3. I agree. I think the oil changing example really showed how important order is in process analysis. I can also confidently say that I did better on test two than on test one as well.

  9. Todays class was a good because of the time at the end she gave us to work on our essay for the test. I think that giving us time to work on the essays will definitely get us to be more prepared for the test and we will all do better. I also thought the lesson was good because it really made me think and I enjoyed it

  10. Today we learned about the two types of process analysis: directive and informative. I enjoyed today's class, especially how we worked together to figure out how to change the oil. I am also really happy about my test results, because they are so much better than my first test. I also like how we got time at the end of class to work on our next essay. I feel like I am becoming a better writer already.

    1. I agree. I had fun working with our fellow classmates. I know how to change oil properly now!

  11. Today we learned of two types of process analysis directive and informative. I really enjoyed the activities today, I now how a slight idea on how to change oil. Aside from activities I was extremely shocked to find the grade that I had been given on the test. I went up about three letter grades and prior to having the essay graded I expected to see a less than favorable result. The fact that we had more than twenty minutes left in class to work on our test essay was just icing on the cake for me.

  12. Today, we learned about the two types of process analysis: directive (explains how to do something) and informative (explains how something was done by giving information). I enjoyed Exercise 1, because we worked together to complete the exercise. It was a fun way to learn something new.
    I was pleasantly surprised with my Test #2 grade, because I did a lot better than Test #1. I am worried about Test #3 being on the 2 stages of the writing process, because I was just getting the hang of the tests. I think if I just work hard on my essay, I will be okay. Refreshing on the stages today will help me prepare for the test.

  13. Today's discussion focused on the two types of process analysis, which are directive and informative. Directive process analysis is to explain how to do something, whereas informative process analysis explains how something is/was done by giving information. The activity on unscrambling the steps to properly change oil of a car was challenging. It was quite an eye opener though! I'm still not satisfied with the grade I received for my second test, although I am pretty satisfied with the essay portion. I need to work 10x as hard for this test, which is just an essay. I have to prove to myself that I can do a lot better than I am now. I chose my topic on what animal I would be and I chose to be a honey badger!

  14. Last class we discussed the two different types of process analysis, directive and informative. We had also done some exercises, but the one that I thought was pretty fun was the oil changing exercise. Personally, I've never changed or checked the oil in my car but I would observe when my boyfriend would do it for me... (lol) So, I tried my best to recap from what I remembered. It was pretty challenging, I tried to envision myself in that predicament.
